Kevin Rudd at $11.50 to win
That’s it! Sorry Sky News, apologies to the ABC, don’t bother news.com.au. We’re calling it first. Sportsbet has declared the federal election a one-horse race and we’re paying out all bets on the Coalition nine days before Australia goes to the polls. We’re so confident of a landslide Coalition victory for Tony Abbott and his team, we’ve paid out more than $1.5 million in bets to our members – a first in Australian federal election history. Following last night’s third and final debate between the two leaders, the Coalition is at Black Caviar-like odds ($1.03) to claim government. (We paid out on the wonder mare as well!) Kevin Rudd and Labor is $11.50 to win the election – their highest price since betting markets opened immediately following the 2010 federal election. As it stands in Sportsbet’s electorate markets: • The Coaltion are favourites in 90 electorates • Labor are favourites in 56 electorates • Katter’s Australian Party is favourite in 1 electorate (Kennedy – QLD) • Independents are favourite in 1 electorate (Denison – TAS) • 2 electorates are currently too close to call (Lyons – TAS, and Lingiari – NT) The Coalition are favoured to win 34 more seats than Labor. Of the 150 electorate in the 2010 federal election, 147 Sportsbet favourites went on to win the seat. - See more at: http://www.sportsbet.com.au/blog/ho...013-election?CarouselSB1#sthash.g0Theamm.dpuf
